Yeah, don't bother with CFLs. They do have ones that are dimmer-friendly, but they are still garbage. I put $100 of them in my house after a remodel, and promptly swapped them out within months for LEDs. I found LEDs for all my recessed lights for $6 each, at Costco in $12 2-packs.
CFLs are like the LaserDisc, Betamax, and Windows Vista of the technology world....a good idea but almost immediately outdated and overshadowed by a better product. Just get the LEDs.
